My Jeep has a taste for blood
This morning at 0700, while going to PT, my Jeep became a murderer. Not two weeks at her new home a deer jumped out in front of her and left my girl with no choice but to defend herself. It was a quick one sided fight and I remember thinking right after, "Oh... new bumper!" But I wasn’t counting on one thing, my Jeep kicks ASS!! There are no marks, no damage, no ANYTHING. My little killer hit that big bad deer like it was going over a speed bump. I called the MP's out and they couldn't believe it. One guy kept asking, "What the hell is this thing?" I'm taking her off-road for the first time this weekend and I'm worried that she's not going to enjoy it without running something down.
So anyway, I'm just writing this to serve notice to any deer that happen to have internet access and look at the forum. I'm coming for you. For too long drivers have feared your kind, too long had insurance premiums raised because of you, too long have I been tempted by late night adds for cheap little plastic gizmos to scare you off. We tried to play fair. We put up signs and told you where to cross the road. We slowed down when you were out of your mind and screwing everything with four legs. I say no more! I don't know how it happened but the people at the Jeep plant screw up and sent me a WMD in place of my JK (kind of like Short Circuit in reverse) and I've got an itchy trigger finger. I am... (cue theme music) The Deer Hunter.

That's funny...I guess it's a good (didn't get hurt) and bad (no new bumper) thing but I wonder if the story would have been different if the Jeep had defended itself by digging down and using its shoulder (e.g. paper thin, tinfoil-like metal sides) to deflect the enemy...

My neighbour has a 2door Rubi and he did the same thing...hit a deer and the only damage was a couple creases in the bumper I guess where the beams of steel come out to hold the bumper in place or something.....other than that you could barely tell...... he used it as an excuse to get new bumpers all around.....why can't I find a deer?

The dear are small in Germany > 100lbs.
If you hit a 150-200 lb buck in Minnesota you will have a lot of damage.
Knew a guy that that hit a dear with his Vet at night, the Vet had the head lights that flip up, took the lights right off, broke the winsheild wiper, cracked the windsheild, toor the top, and broke a tail light.
